Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?

Townshend Audio Rock turntable, London Reference Pickup, QUAD ESL (original), Magneplanar Tympani T-IV, GR Research/Rythmik Audio Direct Servo-Feedback OB/Dipole Subwoofer, ASC Tube Traps, Owens Corning Rigid 703 Acoustical Panels, J.S. Bach.

Spectral Audio. MIT Cables. Goldmund.

After six years of building a system from scratch, I finally feel like I am on the home stretch; last stop is the amp(s) that will complete my system for good.

What I have that is staying:
Simaudio Neo 280D with Mind module (dac/network player)
Synology 216play 2TB server
YS Audio A2 Balanced Gold tube preamp
ZU Audio Omen Def MkII’s with Radian upgrade
Richard Grey 600 pro power
Assorted ZU and AQ cables

I really like my Audio Research 300.2 amp, it synergizes so well with my tube preamp and ZU speakers, though I have never tried mono blocks, let alone tube mono blocks. The efficiency of my ZU’s beg for me to try a pair at least once; either I will love them or go back to SS. Last piece of the puzzle to complete for me. (for now).

Cheers

I tell myself "I am DONE!!" with each new purchase. I think I AM DONE after the last purchase (this weekend). I bought the recently discontinued Marantz SA-11S3 SACD player to keep my recently purchased Marantz PM-11S3 integrated amp company.  Sound  and build quality is amazing and cost for the pair was 4 times my original budget ($1,000) for my entire system, but zero regrets.  

Vandersteen 2Cs

Since the 70s, have owned Electro-Voice, Genesis, Boston Acoustics, Mission, Klipsch, Acoustat, Vandy 1Bs, Monitor Audio, Pioneer, and now Vandersteen 2Cs.

Nothing at all wrong with any of the other speakers, but for my ears, the Vandy 2Cs are perfect. Love them.
